We are very proud of our school's rich forty year history and its respected reputation in Honolulu. It is a school where children, parents and staff work together to develop each child to their God intended potential.

Our school does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, gender, religion or ethnic background in the administration of its educational policies. We believe in promoting the importance of diversity within the school community.

In spring 2008, KCS was awarded dual accreditation status by WASC and ACSI. The school is a member of the Hawaii Council of Private Schools (HCPS) and an affiliate member of the Hawaii Association of Independent Schools (HAIS).

This fund was set up as a memorial honoring former students Kyle Schumacher, Lenn Kawamura, and Joey Yoshikawa. It helps fund a limited financial aid program to assist students who lack the resources to meet the full cost of an education at KCS. Each spring, a day is set aside for a walk-a-thon to raise monies for the fund. Students collect donations from friends and relatives to support the endeavor. Various awards are given to the students who reach the designated quotas.

The Helen N. McKenzie Scholarship Fund

This scholarship fund was established in 2000 in honor of KCS' founding principal. It is a merit scholarship, given to the 6th - 8th grader who is deemed to best reflect the school's emphasis on academic effort, caring attitude, and service to school and community.

Contributions by alumni and other to help establish a fund for this scholarship are appreciated.

As a ministry of Kaimuki Christian Church, our mission is to bring glory to God by nurturing all children who can significantly benefit from our program by educating them to attain their God-intended potential.
